Monitoring forms

A monitoring survey can have one or more monitoring forms. Monitoring forms are used to collect data about the data point that change over time. Each monitoring form can focus on a different subject. You can always add another monitoring form to your survey later in your data journey. These can be filled in only to an existing data point, thus they are submitted after the registration form.

Looking at our example, we will create two monitoring forms. One form will hold questions about the functionality and the other about water quality:

Functionality form:

• Is the well functioning
• After how many stores does water start to flow?
• How many people are at the well at the time of the visit?

Water quality form

• Measure the level of fluoride in the water?
• Is there any damage to the well?

Furthermore, monitoring forms do not have to be submitted at the same time. Some information you want to monitor more regularly, like every week, where other you might be interested in reviewing only once a year. This is possible with Flow's monitoring feature.

In our case, the functionality form will be submitted on a weekly basis and the water quality one on a monthly. The enumerator will see in the app when the last submission was made to each form making it easier for her to know which form she needs to fill in.
